Understanding the distribution patterns of threatened species is central to conservation. The
Amazonian distribution of the northern tiger cat (N-tiger cat, Leopardus tigrinus) and its …

Taxa with broad geographic ranges that occur in different biomes and exhibit plastic
morphological traits and/or adaptations to particular habitats make inferences about species …

Phylogeography investigates historical drivers of the geographical distribution of

Understanding the role of open vegetation, particularly in white-sand ecosystems (WSE) and

Conserving genetic diversity in rare and narrowly distributed endemic species is essential to
maintain their evolutionary potential and minimize extinction risk under future environmental …

The biogeographical history of Mesoamerican cloud forests is complex, encompassing a
diverse and heterogeneous mixture of species with temperate and tropical origins. The …

The Amazonian region is composed by many kinds of environments, including the
